Blue limestone
Blue limestone is a timeless classic thanks to its great versatility and its technical features.
Bluestone is a compact dark limestone. The most famous are Kilkenny Limestone, from our own quarries, and Belgian Blue Stone. These materials have been used for centuries for indoor and outdoor applications. Due to its very dense structure and hardness, this limestone is ideally suited for paving, terraces, interior flooring, wall cladding and building products (window sills, lintels, stairs...).
The distinct colour of this natural stone is attributed to the remnants of ancient carbon dioxide. Bluestone typically exhibits varying shades of blue-grey, with Irish bluestone being notably bluer than its Belgian counterpart and containing fewer fossils.
